About this ebook

Transits are one of the main means used in horoscope reading. They are used to forecast future trend and developments. Astrological transit is about interpreting the ongoing movement of the planets as they transit the horoscope. These transits are studied in the Natal Charts to tell about the timing or fructification of the events. In this book the initial chapters deal with the basic understanding of the meaning of Transit, the rules to be applied and about the planets. We have also dealt with the rules to be applied in predicting the result of transiting planets. Basic Transit Rules of planets in Houses, Signs, Nakshatra and Divisional Charts is explained at length. The book then dwells in factors that modify the results of a Transit. It then goes into explaining the impact of the transiting inner planets. I have also gone in details explaining the impact of Jupiter, Saturn, Nodes and Mars in Transit with various permutation and combination.

Astrology. That is not Shanker’s alibi to while away lazy hours, it is his preferred passion - a passion that fell his way in childhood, a zeal that he picked from his father. As a child Shanker often saw his father, a bureaucrat-astrologer, scrambling with dates and numbers on a horoscope; he often sat at his father's feet as he flipped through books to unravel the mysteries of human lives and existence; while boys his age were fiddling with cars and machines, Shanker sat hours to partake in intellectual debates about the futility and paradoxes of life that his father had with his friends and fellow astrologers. 

The esoteric so fascinated Shanker that he studied astrology to become a Jyotishacharya. As word spread, Shanker’s weekends started getting crowded, friends sought solace and answers, strangers knocked his doors for ways to mollify an irate planet. The more he delved, the more astrology intrigued him. He perused his personal library of 3,000 books trying to cull wisdom from ancient scriptures and musings of sages. And the more he studied the more he felt the need to share his knowledge with others - a need that has resulted in nine path-breaking books on astrology.
